Food Geek is the Ultimate Foodie ? Vegas Vitality Nutrition

This week, Las Vegas is taking the term ?Foodie? to the next level at the International Food Technologist (IFT) Expo. I am a ?Food Geek?. IFT?s Student Association was giving out name tag flags if you expressed your true ?food-geek-ness.? Boy, did I meet their criteria: product and recipe creator, food writer, expert in nutrition (dietitian), expert in food security (masters degree), food spokesperson, and overall Foodie (love to eat good food). My life truly revolves around food and I love my food like a kid loves cake.

?

Even with all of the amazing culinary creations and food science developments on display, I was reminded that the IFT Expo celebrates much more than the creation of good tasting food. With more than 80 countries represented, it truly takes an army of food geeks to ensure food security, safety, and supply to the masses. This is best explained by the new video that IFT has recently released: World without Food Science. Please view and share your thoughts!
